Accelerating Expansion and Cosmological Evolution in String Theory

The Gordon Research Seminar on String Theory and Cosmology is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is the realization of cosmological spacetimes within string theory, describing both the early universe's inflationary phase, its matter content and late-time dark energy domination. A primary goal will be to understand constructions of and obstructions to de Sitter vacua in string theory.
